Ya know, with all this talk about Tivo, maybe that would be a good topic for a meeting. How does that sound to everyone? I'd be willing to give a demo, and even bring in my standalone Series 1 for people to look at.<br>
<br>Oh, and in case anyone is wondering, my laptop did die (it appears to be the video "card"). I think I can boot it long enough to pull the meeting notes off, so I'm going to try to do that tomorrow night.
